Louisville baseball's Eddie KIng Jr. shares secret to team success  

It's tournament time and this episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Brendan Marks from The Athletic to preview the ACC Tournament and Myron Medcalf from ESPN.com to break down the SEC Tournament.

Marks and Medcalf say that Duke and Florida, which are both locked in as No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, are the heavy favorites to win the ACC and SEC, respectively. Marks explains why Isaac McKneely may be key to Louisville's tournament with Mikel Brown Jr. unable to play. Medcalf tells why he believes Kentucky is the most disappointing team in the nation. Other topics include UofL's status as an NCAA Tournament lock and what the remaining bubble teams need to do to earn a March Madness bid.
